Hello Everyone,

I have had the pleasure of testing some Patriotic embroidery designs for Christie at Christie's Embroidery Café.

Here are the designs I tested:

I had so much fun doing these because they were for July 4th and they are just so cute too.

 

 

 

This one had a vintage feel to it: 





If you would like to purchase these designs or any others, please go to her website. Please note that she is in the process of moving and won't have internet access until July 15th.

I am linking up with these wonderful parties, Remodelaholic, More the Merrier and TCB.

Happy Fourth of July!!

Have a great day and a great week!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hello Everyone,

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!!

Independence Day, commonly known as July 4th or the Fourth of July, commemorates the Continental Congress’ adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The document, primarily written by Thomas Jefferson, served as a formal announcement that the 13 American colonies were no longer part of the British Empire and would henceforth be free and independent states. Regarded as the birthday of the United States of America, the day is typically celebrated with parades, fireworks, ceremonies, barbecues and family gatherings. The Fourth of July is America's birthday -- our most patriotic celebration. 

For Military families with loved ones serving abroad  it holds special meaning. To everyone who is currently serving and or a Veteran, I say "Thank you". Thank you for the sacrifices you have made in the past, for the sacrifices you are making now, or will make in the future. Without you, our country would not have such a history to be proud of and we would not be able to continue to make history.

You are among the bravest, most courageous, dedicated, compassionate and hard working people of our nation; you are the best of the best. On this Fourth of July, be proud, be proud of who you are, what you have done and what you do, and know that no matter what happens, America is behind you!

 

I am missing celebrating the 4th from our hometown, but we had a wonderful time this week at the local festival they had here on post. It is called the Wiesbaden German/American Friendship Fest.We had a great time with friends, music, eating, drinking and of course the rides.

Thank you E for keeping us safe and protecting our country and our freedom!! I love you and I am so very proud of you.

 

Have a wonderful day with your family and friends!! Be safe and make sure your pets are safe too!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

I miss seeing the fireworks in lower Manhattan. When I was a kid I would watch them from the roof of the apartment building of where we grew up in Brooklyn with my family, or the Brooklyn Promenade or we would go into the city to watch them from the East Side. There was something so magical seeing the the skyline light up with beautiful colors and hearing the patriotic music to go along with it.

This year, I can't wait for us to go see the fireworks in our hometown. It will be the first time we get to see the fireworks over Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, NY.

Happy Independence Day America!!

From History.com:


"When armed conflict between bands of American colonists and British soldiers began in April 1775, the Americans were ostensibly fighting only for their rights as subjects of the British crown. By the following summer, with the Revolutionary War in full swing, the movement for independence from Britain had grown, and delegates of the Continental Congress were faced with a vote on the issue. In mid-June 1776, a five-man committee including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin was tasked with drafting a formal statement of the colonies' intentions. The Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence--written largely by Jefferson--in Philadelphia on July 4, a date now celebrated as the birth of American independence."


Thank you E for keeping us safe and protecting our country and our freedom!! I love you and I am so very proud of you.


I wish you and your family a very safe and happy Independence day!!
